We haven't seen the contract yet, if it has a team option after the 3rd year then it wouldn't exceed Mo's rookie deal No it'd just put us in a bad position where we have to resign a guy who has no long term starting experience Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, if we bring back Ross and want to use the full MLE, we have to stretch Mozgov just to stay under the tax? Cause I don’t see ownership willing to pay the tax for this group Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't make sense to develop a backup who can only play 1 position. It's poor value. I think you are overdramatizing the situation. Just wait for Mo to develop into someone reliable and durable first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He won’t get the opportunity here to develop in to that with Vooch occupying 3/4 of the Center minutes. Neither can play the 4. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but right now, Mo’s value to the team comes in what we can get for him, and what we can get for him dwindles a little bit every day of his rookie contract that passes by.

So Ross back for like 14-15 and 3 minimum slots, just skate under the tax and roll back the exact same squad until the inevitable Bamba trade happens?

No I'm not. It makes more sense to cash in Mo for a wing vs letting his value atrophy. It's just a smarter move. You only need to invest in one center.

Vooch has a career avg. of 30 mpg, which still leaves 18 at least for Mo. But right now, I don't see Mo to be the force (even with more playing time) which all of you guys are advertising. He still needs a lot of time to develop. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You only need to invest in one center. I'm not even sure, if he has a good value on the trade market. What are you expecting in return? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
